As a staunch member of the 13 Moderns, Galo Ocampo helped shape the country’s visual arts and steered it beyond post modernism. He also designed the Philippine coat of arms and Seal of the President. His famous yet controversial 1938 rendition of the Brown Madonna which won him critical acclaim for depicting the Virgin Mary as a non-Caucasian is paid homage to in this work - his own latter variation of the same theme.
